Application procedure
After a first evaluation of the application dossiers, the eligible candidates are invited to a one-day assessment in one of our centers. The assessment consists of several interviews and group discussions. An assessment committee, made up of benevolent assessors with different backgrounds, make the final decision. Our assessment days take place in the three different linguistic regions of Switzerlandand in the three official languages. All candidates who have been at an assessment centre have the possibility to ask for an individual feedback.
